Order of scary things this year

"Jishin, Kaminari, Kaji, Oyaji" is an old Japanese saying to list the most scary things to the fourth runner up.  Translated, it is "Earthquake, lightning, fire, father".  This year, earthquake kept its number one spot,  Tsunami replaced lightning on the second spot, and tyhoon replaced fire on the third.  But Oyaji the father on the fourth spot has not been included in the game for some time now, and it looks like he is out of the game again this year.  (Traditionally father was an absolute authoritative figure in Japanese household, but not so in the modern society.)
